Vallejo police use Taser on Novato man after chase

A 43-year-old Novato man led police on a half-mile chase Friday morning before crashing, police said.

The incident occurred at about 5 a.m., when police tried to pull over a driver and passenger in a gray Chevy Camaro on suspicion of reckless driving, Vallejo police Lt. John Whitney said.

The driver, Quinn McIntosh, allegedly continued driving, leading a pursuing police car around the neighborhood until he crashed into a parked car in the 100 block of Campbell Avenue and reportedly fled on foot.

Police detained McIntosh a short distance away, using a Taser gun on him when he became combative with police, Whitney said.

In addition to suspicion of resisting arrest, McIntosh was also wanted on a felony warrant, Whitney said.
